CVE-2026-44309
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Gitsign is a keyless Sigstore to signing tool for Git commits with your a GitHub / OIDC identity. Prior to 0.16.0, gitsign verify and gitsign verify-tag re-encode commit/tag objects through go-git's EncodeWithoutSignature before checking the signature, instead of verifying against the raw git object bytes. For malformed objects with duplicate tree headers, git-core and go-git parse different trees: git-core uses the first, go-git uses the second. A signature crafted over the go-git-normalized form (second tree) passes gitsign verify while git-core resolves the commit to a completely different tree. This breaks the invariant that a verified signature, the commit semantics git-core presents to users, and the object hash logged in Rekor all refer to the same content. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.16.0.

"value": "Gitsign es una herramienta de firma Sigstore sin clave para commits de Git con tu identidad de GitHub / OIDC. Antes de la versión 0.16.0, gitsign verify y gitsign verify-tag recodificaban objetos de commit/etiqueta a través de EncodeWithoutSignature de go-git antes de verificar la firma, en lugar de verificar contra los bytes brutos del objeto git. Para objetos malformados con encabezados de árbol duplicados, git-core y go-git analizan árboles diferentes: git-core usa el primero, go-git usa el segundo. Una firma creada sobre la forma normalizada por go-git (segundo árbol) pasa gitsign verify mientras que git-core resuelve el commit a un árbol completamente diferente. Esto rompe el invariante de que una firma verificada, la semántica del commit que git-core presenta a los usuarios y el hash del objeto registrado en Rekor se refieren todos al mismo contenido. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en la versión 0.16.0."
